Might be worth it to sort the list by price? With a disclaimer that price does not imply quality.

Now that's a good idea but sorting by price would create a few issues as far as listing goes since there's more than 1 source for some people and I can't look up the original SRP on some sources on the list...

I think $2k is a good cut off really. My source is definitely what I would consider high end and cost me $1500, but a lot of stuff in that price range really doesn't make the cut. Plus, I don't give a crap what people have at my price point... I want to see what the big spenders are using.

It's the one in my signature, a Moon Audio modded Original CD-2008 MkII. My particular unit has the Level 2 Mods with the Level 1 transformers [Lundahl nu-metal core instead of Lubdahl cobalt amorphous core]. From what Drew said, and what I heard comparing them both, the 'better' transformers really just have a bit more sparkle on the highs and perhaps a slightly larger soundstage. I didn't hear the soundstage differences myself, though my audition with his Level 3 unit was relatively short. He feels that you don't really hear the difference with a headphone setup. As for the sparkle in the highs... my system has just the right amount to my ears.
